Life as a journey
"Life shouldn't be a
journey to the grave intent on arriving safely in an attractive and
well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Cabernet in one hand -
chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and
screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"
This was emailed to me this morning... words for thought going into a new year. Anyone know who's quote is this anyway?

house established in the late 1800’s.
The first piece, a unique silvertone and

signs of wear. It is a stunning piece, perfect for the Holidays.

Vaughn Pottery New pieces!
Bill & June Vaughn of Vaughn Pottery have graced our shelves for the upcoming Christmas Season with an outstanding collection of pottery and wearable art pieces.
Above is June getting ready to set up while Bill talks shop with Ironstone's very own Garden Guy, Larry.
A union of two highly creative minds, each piece reflects the vital roles that both Bill & June each play in its formation. Bill is interested in the form of the piece and the textures achieved through his choice of burnishing or using slip to finish; or to fire with or without horse hair. June further develops the pieces with decoration that includes paint, carving, stones, antlers, beads and other found objects.
